finding your way to bed each night
should be easy
quit my job now im drinking on a weeknight
waking up past noon doesnt feel right
fell asleep with the window open
i could hear my neighbors yelling at eachother
she said her brother got busted by undercovers
i wrote it down but to be real its really nothing to me
growing bored of the same damn thing
think i fried every cell in my brain
everything that i make sounds the same
spent the last week awake
wrote a book about a fire in a forest
in the end you find out im the one who set it
i need money
how do i get it
ill sell my soul cuz to be real its really nothing to me

ive been in awkward situations just like you have
i spend my money on the dumbest shit why do i do that
ive been there ive done it
im fuckin up in public
im not as innocent as i pretend to be and
oh i know
ill never get there never make it out
of here i need to make some money
oh i know
ill never get there never make it out
of here alive
i wish that i could go back to when i wasnt so worried
all the time
cuz now if i show my face the face i show wont look like mine
do you recall how you felt when i left
cuz i remember you never responded
how the hell did i get so upset by you
im not even part of your life
theres not a single second thought
theres not a secondhand regret
to all the voices in my head
i cant believe this is the first time ive said
i feel this way on purpose
i feel i dont deserve this
i feel this way on purpose
i feel i dont deserve this worship
whats your plan of attack whats your eta
its not lame just admit it you missed me
say you need me
say you feel me
say you love how i camouflage the real me
needs to end
ive said it before and ill say it again
this needs to end
ive said it before and ill say it again
this needs to end

Face Value
01:31
|
|
||
|
theres really no reason to put any effort toward
anything anymore
im trying so hard to
not bicker or argue
with strangers in places
with things that i cant afford
this month was a long one
day off would be awesome
but proceed with caution
the options are minimal
the way these folks are treated is no less than fucking criminal
to make it out alive and one piece would be a miracle
i am only worthy of what youll pay me
i cant offer much what you see is what you get
i take at face value niceties i know my worth
try so hard to barely get by
trying hard to make it work

i didnt say that
why would you say i said that
i barely spoke on the flight
you know i hear you right
also it was really weird
how you told everyone im here
what does that have to do with you
stay out of this
it wasnt on good terms
i left immediately
and thats the last you heard of me
everybody wants somebody
somebody unlike the others
everybodys undercover
i cant trust these motherfuckers
idiots with internet
self indulgent self obsessed
im not better im the best
eyes on me attention please
everybody wants somebody
somebody unlike the others
everybodys undercover
i cant trust these motherfuckers
idiots with internet
self indulgent self obsessed
im too old to act like this
im embarrassed i give up i quit
is it normal to have fantasies of going
inside another persons home without them knowing
is it normal to believe when people die they deserve it
room full of 20 somethings dressing dirty on purpose
is it normal to leave without anyone noticing
time will tell
believe you me
is it normal to have fantasies of going
inside another persons home without them knowing

i never understood
buying 5 dollar coffee
but now i think i get it
in the end its only money
drop a dollar on the ground
people start acting funny
whats it like with no alarm
he said he always dreams
of going back to high school
show everyone how much hes grown
and now knows how to act cool
sometimes theres nothing to say
how bout we keep it that way
yeah
when i get out
it feels like vacation
even if on the drive
the radio station
only plays songs
that i cant stand
for the moment im happy where i am
honestly its not as easy
as they made it sound
i found out early on
not much really goes wrong
i guess im overreacting

Big Rig
01:54
|
|

|
i want it desperately
not as much a craving as a need
theres a fire burning somewhere
if i had a choice id be there
end it all on a high note
check me out
and what id do
is pick a truck and id follow it
to a city too busy to see all of it
what a beautiful and curious way to be alive
take the kindness of strangers for granted
turn and run with the money im handed
have i earned the right to be a waste of precious time
i have a bad feeling about this
if this falls through dont be surprised
this stream of light caught my attention
if i really had to i guess id drive

Frosted Glass
00:30

i move in silence
theres somebody following me
saw my reflection it made me scream
i move in silence
theres somebody watching me
through frosted glass
showing perfect teeth

Hard Time
03:37
|
|
||
|
the way my body makes contact with concrete
behind your accord
ive been here before a few times
and if history repeats itself
shes into me like meteors to earth
take that for what its worth
its worthless
the morning talk show
the host who wont shut up
i probably wouldnt even hate him
if he didnt make so much
im working hard
im hardly getting by
its not as easy as you say to save
but still its great advice
i dont even think once
much less twice
id take every other life to save mine
but put my life on the line in hard time
hard time
this year when i celebrate
my birthday ill be in court
i cant get back every hour
my job aint paying me for
im getting out of this funk
whether i like it or not
i didnt choose to be here
but ill still give it a shot
i gave myself a few options
one just as good as the next
none what ive come to expect
i found myself and then lost him
in the crowd
of people wondering who i am
scanning the room for a quick way out
hiding a smile behind my hand
a quick goodbye before i hit the ground
overdramatic
too used to where i live
programmed in part by
outrage inherited
bags in the attic
overflowing confidence
programmed in part by
outrage inherited
not to be dramatic
and if ive told this story stop me
a completely different wavelength
and a different person nightly
and the miller family likes me
cuz the robinsons despise me
when theres not too many options
i guess the millers are my family
and i find it so annoying
its like the good choices avoid me
i think a single wave could change the world
and make the whole routine less boring

The Best Thing
02:48
|
|

im dreaming of hardwood floors
in a better apartment
spare rooms and the perfect natural light
im dreaming of a neighborhood
where its safe to walk at night
and the dj plays the songs i like
isnt it wonderful
oh are you proud to be
the best thing happening to me
isnt it wonderful
well arent you proud of me
visions of you
only once or twice a week
change ive been through
disappears immediately
i see the way
people take it day to day
i found my place
im dreaming of a gathering
they own expensive things
they all dress a little better than me
but they all act polite
im feeling the energy
on the side where the grass is green
theres not much to ask of me
but i still do my part

Get Lost
01:45

|

i dont want you anywhere near me
what makes you think you would fit in
i take time out my busy schedule
wondering how such a life could exist
i dont like you
youre a waste of oxygen
people like you just shouldnt exist
i have a theory about you
mathematic equation concluding that youre a dick
it is what it is til it isnt
im getting a job as a cop just to throw you in prison
and honestly i would be shocked
if in 20 years you got one single visit
how does it feel to be awesome
i couldnt answer but im sure youd come up with something
you always have something to say
even if its offering nothing

By My Side
03:00
|
|

if i take you home can i come inside
if you ask how im feeling ill probably lie
2 drinks in the cupholder one is yours
2 weeks of sleep on a hardwood floor
at least for now im happy here
its been a rough few years
im good now that youre
hear me out
youre the only thing i think about
and if the world ends tonight
at least ill have you by my side
at least ill have you right here
if i take you home can i come inside
would you let me know if im worth your time
the laughter nervous i noticed
its weird and everybody knows it
at least for now im happy right

Where It Started
02:47
|
|
||
|
every place i wanna go youve been there
every dollar i need to make you have
everything i wanna do youve done it
you throw away the things i wish i had
if i had your attitude
support system and social skills
and said that it will be just fine
of course it will
but if we went back
to where it started
it wasnt cool then
but now you think you made it up
you shouldnt act
like youre some artist
i shouldnt either
how bout you just dont bring it up
every time i talk i regret it
if a man tried to rob me id let him
fear the future cant live for the present
its who i am i cant change so whatever
wow thank you so much for the gift
i dont want it
plus i bet i know what it is
more about you than it is about me
time and time again i call you
time and time again i get ignored
time spent worried that you hate me
maybe thats what friends are for

Swimmin

i only wanted nothing
but now that i have nothing
im lost and crave direction
unhealthy self obsession
2 weeks cant go by fast enough
i didnt plan to sell my stuff
but i set myself up
destruction ive created
i miss radio stations
that helped distract me from my day
i miss the voice i hated
i miss the sound of the cars
snowfall on broken windows
and i now i watch from afar
im screaming dont let it go
i just wanna wake up
once everything gets better
and if that never happens
i wanna sleep forever
i wanna wake up to a new life a new place
pack my stuff and change my name
and pick a new state
throw a dart at a map
well go wherever it lands
and if it lands in the ocean
im swimmin
